At Claremont Resort & Club, guests are invited to relax, recharge, and dive into a world-class aquatic escape that goes far beyond the basics.
Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a wellness retreat, or a family vacation, here’s why the poolside experience at Claremont Resort & Club is second to none.
A Historic Setting With Modern Luxury
Perched in the Berkeley Hills, Claremont Resort & Club is one of the most iconic resorts in the Bay Area—blending classic California charm with upscale amenities. The property’s resort-style pool area offers guests an elevated space to unwind while enjoying picturesque views, lush surroundings, and the unmistakable elegance of Claremont hospitality.
The moment you step into the pool area, you’re welcomed by calming greenery, clean design, and a sense of total relaxation that defines the Claremont experience.
Three Pools, Endless Possibilities
Claremont’s pool facilities offer something for everyone. With three heated saline pools plus an outdoor whirlpool, guests of all ages can enjoy the water in their own way.
Lap Pool: Perfect for fitness-focused guests who want to get in a swim workout while soaking up the California sun. Coached Streamliner workouts are available for swimmers looking to add structure.
Recreational Pool: Family-friendly and ideal for lounging, splashing, or enjoying a poolside read.
Children’s Activity Pool: A beach-style entry and playful water feature make this the spot for the resort’s youngest swimmers.
Whirlpool: The ultimate spot to relax tired muscles after a day of hiking in the nearby Claremont Canyon or exploring downtown Berkeley.
The pool deck features plenty of chaise lounges, umbrellas, and shaded seating areas—designed with both comfort and style in mind, and open year-round thanks to the heated saline pools.
Poolside Service & Resort Amenities
What elevates the poolside experience at Claremont Resort & Club is the thoughtful attention to detail. Guests can enjoy seasonal bites and drinks from Bayview Terrace, the resort’s poolside counter, bringing the flavors of the dining scene right to your lounge chair. Refresh with a cold drink, enjoy a light snack, or treat yourself to a full lunch without ever leaving your sun-soaked seat.
Towels are always available, and friendly attendants ensure everything you need is at your fingertips.
Family-Friendly Fun
For families traveling with kids, Claremont’s pool area becomes a central hub of fun and connection. The Club offers seasonal programming, private and group swim lessons, and family-friendly events throughout the summer months. It’s a safe, clean, and joyful environment where children can splash freely while parents relax with peace of mind — and Kids’ Club childcare is on hand when you want an hour to yourself.
And when you’re ready to dry off, the property’s expansive lawn areas and nearby tennis and pickleball courts provide even more ways to stay active and engaged.
A Wellness Oasis Just Minutes from San Francisco
Located only minutes from the city, Claremont Resort & Club feels like a world apart. With 40,000 square feet of state-of-the-art fitness facilities at The Club, more than 75 group classes each week, and dedicated recovery amenities including sauna, steam rooms, and Clearlight’s Red Light Therapy Towers, the pool is just one part of a much larger experience centered around relaxation and renewal.
